Judge Jackson Wants to 'Meld' American Law with CRT, Social Justice

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, currently testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee as her nomination to the Supreme Court is considered, has a track record not too dissimilar from any other woke academic. And despite the Democrat spin that says criticisms of Biden's SCOTUS nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer are trumped up claims based on sexist racist bigotry, KBJ's own words in her Senate Judiciary Questionnaire (SJQ) make her beliefs clear.

In one document included in the SJQ, remarks titled "Fairness in Federal Sentencing: An Examination" lay out what Judge Jackson believes and has sought to impart (emphasis added):

I also try to convince my students that sentencing is just plain interesting on an intellectual level, in part because it melds together myriad types of law—criminal law, of course, but also administrative law, constitutional law, critical race theory, negotiations, and to some extent, even contracts. And if that's not enough to prove to them that sentencing is a subject worth studying, I point out that sentencing policy implicates and intersects with various other intellectual disciplines as well, including philosophy, psychology, history, statistics, economics, and politics.

No doubt causing the usual suspect republicrats turn coats to swoon at the thought of all that equity being applied.

[OpusatFR]

In other words she wants to enshrine racial animus against Caucasians as a proper remedy for blacks

[BenLurkin]

Somebody needs to clue the honorable jurist in that the entire purpose of sentencing is 99% punishment for the criminal plus 1% deterrent to others who might be contemplating committing the same or similar crime.

Hey, she will just be another leftist judge like Sotomayor or Kagan who in spite of Roberts claiming they are impartial will almost always vote in favor of leftist politics. I’d like to see someone ask her if she thinks the Constitution is a “Living Document”.

[aimhigh]

Watching the hearings, I’m not impressed with her responses. Her answers are shallow.

[Yo-Yo]

The job of Supreme Court Justice should almost be able to be done by a computer program.

Does the law in question violate the Constitution?

If "YES" then OVERTURN
If "NO" then UPHOLD

End.

This is how it works in Zimbabwe—the judges in white robes tell white people to go &^%$ themselves.

[Sirius Lee]

So...he wants to resurrect Jim Crow?

[Vision]

She’s an unabashed racist looking to push racism into law. Disgusting.

[Altura Ct.]

Of course she. Whites better get their heads out of their rear ends.

[al baby]

LMAO Think Dominion Diebold nfty

[Wuli]

He democrat handlers in the Senate are trying to paint her as very respectful of the law, and ignoring her philosphical thinking about “race” and the law. She is no Clarence Thomas that’s for sure.

If the Supreme Court actually operated as originally intended, 99% of the time the job would be so simple a caveman could do it, at least within its role as the arbiter of constitutionality. On big constitutional issues, simply read what is written in the Constitution and apply it. It was written to be simple and easily understandable, even by the average citizen at the time.

If there is an issue that is a bit less clear, it’s dead easy to look at what those who drafted the Constitution wrote about the underlying intent. There’s plenty of material to draw upon. Just apply their intent, and ignore your own personal wishes and preferences.

And if you don’t like the Constitution as written, change it through an amendment (if you can). Simple.

Gregory Hood said it best:

“Politics (and law) is about who, not what.” Pieces of paper will not save you from people who want to destroy you.

[Bonemaker]

To hell with what she wants!

Capt Obvious here, but this is another example of one side pulling out all the stops, and the other side pretending while really seeking validation from the Media and their lunch buddies across the aisle.

“I point out that sentencing policy implicates and intersects with various other intellectual disciplines as well, including philosophy, psychology, history, statistics, economics, and politics.”

Your sentencing policy, idiot, is supposed to only intersect with the Constitution.

Progressive= Communist

[bert]

She is a black political construct and totally unfit for the court.

She will insist on having her black ass kissed several times before she will ever rule against the most heinous Black criminals

Political analysis

[rktman]

One would think.
